PS that was me just now writing a new guideline. You saw it here first :rockon:
You will be good for 2-3 cubes/day with one of those on each side. The screen size & lights are not "matched" but all that really matters is that you have enough light to support the growth you need per the feeding. You might get some funky growth outside of the light coverage, but it will work.
Start with 9 hrs/day, it might take 2-3 weeks to get growth started, but only make adjustments by adding 1-2 hours/day to the cycle once a week. Give it 7 days to see what happens from the change. yu should not need more than 12 hrs/day initially I wouldn't think, especially on a bare screen.
With 11x8 I don't think you will need supplemental CFL, definitely not at first. Only if you get the screen matured and it's not enough filtration.

2 sided is always better than single sided because the light penetrates deeper from one side to the other, meaning you can go longer between cleanings.
at 5" you probably don't need diffusers but you might not get as think of growth if it were closer. Start at 5", that will lower the intensity and allow for initial growth to start without phoninhibition. Then see how it fills in, then move the lights closer to get more intensity if needed. Every setup is different so it's more of an individual judgement call than a set-in-stone rule.
